REVISED MINE PLAN

PROGRESS AGAINST THE PLAN

In December 2016 the Company announced a capital raising for A$15 million (pre costs) to invest in both pre- strip advancement and coal inventory, based on a Revised Mine Plan (RMP). Ramp-up of pre-strip activities in March quarter have been impacted by recent tightening in the labour

  • market. The contractor has secured additional operators

and equipment to enable meeting planned production for the following quarters. As the mining contract was negotiated on a rolled-up rate basis, the increase in costs for these additional operators and equipment is to the Contractors’ account. Total stockpile build (run-of-mine and product coal) is a key focus of the RMP to improve the reliability and repeatability of operations. Inventory build for ROM and product coal in March quarter increased 14kt and 22kt respectively, representing a further investment in working capital of $1.9m Inventory levels are anticipated to increase above 300kt in the June quarter given unavailability of critical transport infrastructure as a result of Tropical Cyclone Debbie (TC Debbie).

PRIME WASTE OVERBURDEN (BCM)

*2H-FY17 refers to prior guidance provided in the “Half Year 2017 Results Presentation” dated 28 Feb 2017

Although total overburden was largely in-line with plan, the linear speed of the dragline was impacted by increased rehandle, designed to maximize recovery of each repeated coal sequence around the fault zone. The June quarter mining sequence will be less impacted by faulted zones, which is anticipated to improve, waste mining, coal recovery and coal yields (refer following slide). Overburden performance for the month of March was encouraging and provides the Company with confidence around achievability of performance for the June quarter.

OPERATING RESULTS – JUNE QUARTER MINING

Although the March quarter was behind prior guidance, mining was impacted by labour availability and slower than expected mining around a known major fault (refer diagrams below). Increases to manning and an additional excavator and dozer mobilised to site are anticipated to improve waste removal and coal mining in the June quarter. The ramp- up in manning together with an additional excavator contributes a further 0.3Mbcm above the March quarter result, while additional dozer hours are expected to contribute 0.2Mbcm. This increase in pre-strip will enable an additional cast blast of 0.3Mbcm to occur in the June quarter. In addition to increased excavator availability in the June quarter, the dragline lineal progression will be significantly improved by not mining known blocks of coal seam repeats, where coal losses were experienced in the March quarter. The increased speed of the dragline is anticipated to result in an additional 0.8Mbcm prime waste in the June quarter. 12

PRODUCT TONNES PRODUCED FOB COSTS (A$/TONNE, ALL-IN)

*2H-FY17 refers to prior guidance provided in the “Half Year 2017 Results Presentation” dated 28 Feb 2017

The March quarter shortfall for product tonnes produced compared to prior guidance is the direct result of:

  • TC Debbie resulted in 50kt of ROM coal (approx. 35kt product tonnes) left uncovered

in-pit and unable to be extracted.

  • In-pit ROM losses of 30kt (approx. 20kt product tonnes) resulting from mining around

the repeated coal seams in the known faulted zone.

  • ROM coal back-ended in the 2H-FY17* forecast to later in the June quarter. This,

together with the delays experienced from TC Debbie and coal losses, has resulted in a reforecast of the anticipated product tonnes produced for FY17 to 1.15Mt. March quarter FOB costs were A$112/tonne, impacted by the fixed cost base spread

  • ver lower than anticipated sales in the quarter.

With the expected delays to rail infrastructure arising from TC Debbie, June quarter costs are anticipated to be above life of mine (LOM) levels as fixed costs such as take-

  • r-pay commitments for infrastructure providers, together with other fixed overhead

costs, will all remain payable during the expected delay period.

QUARTERLY COKING COAL PRICING

FLOW THROUGH OF CONTRACT PRICING

  • Each new quarterly price applies after any carry over

tonnes from the previous quarter are delivered, assessed on a contract by contract basis.

  • Currently anticipate that higher March quarterly

prices will apply to approximately 70% of sales in the June quarter.

  • Sales forecast volumes are estimated to be lower

than the March quarter, resulting from delays to infrastructure availability following impacts of Tropical Cyclone Debbie. The Company is assessing a range of options for alternate sales

  • pportunities in the near term
  • The average shipped price for all coal during the

March quarter was USD 94 per tonne (AUD 124 per tonne), including thermal coal sales.

RECENT PRICE SPIKE TO STABILISE IN MEDIUM TERM

The June quarterly 4Q17 benchmark negotiations for semi-soft coking coal price have been delayed given both miners and end users continue to assess the impact of TC Debbie. The observed increase to spot price, driven by coal supply issues throughout key Queensland export regions caused by TC Debbie, is likely to drive an improved price outcome for the June quarter compared to prior expectations of the Company. Management view that prices remain supported in the medium term, at levels to incentivise capital investment decisions to replace depleting supply sources of coking coal. Contract negotiations with existing customers have been finalised at contract volumes of approximately 800kt, with improved relativity achieved to benchmark across the portfolio. A significant portion of the carry-over position from the previous Japanese Fiscal Year has been priced at the March 2017 quarter price. 15
